IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-BITS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 151,024. dated May 19, 1874; application filed March 7, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. HEINZE,

scribed.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front View of the bit, one end being shown in section as through the line g 3/ of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a view of Fig. 1, looking to the right (as indicated by the arrow) from the line 00 00. Fig. 3 is a detail, showing the construction of the cheek-piece with a cross-section of the pivot-pin.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the mouth-piece. B is the cheek-piece, to which the lines or reins are attached. These two parts are connected together by means of pivot-pins 0. These pins fit holes made in the ends of the mouth-piece, in which holes they freely turn. These pins have square ends 1), which project from the sides of the mouthpiece, as seen in Fig. 2. The cheek-pieces B are formed with small rings E, the interior of which receive the ends of the mouth-piece and allow the mouth-piece. to render freely or turn back and forth. F is a small recess in each of the cheek pieces or rings E, having square sides, which receive the square ends of the pivot-pins. (See Fig. 2.) Each of these recesses is provided with two small lugs, g, which are bent down onto the square ends of the pin, as seen in Fig. 1, and thus permanently fasten the pivot-pins and the cheekpieces together. The pins therefore turn in the ends of the mouthpiece when the cheekpieces turn, and when the mouth-piece turns on one pivot it turns on both, thus allowing ends D D, as and for the purpose specified.
